    Name:
    As a distinguished New York businessman in the pharmaceutical trade, Crittenton experienced a dramatic life change in 1882 when his young daughter Florence died of scarlet fever. Seeking to find hope amidst his daughter's tragic death, Crittenton turned to religion and began evangelizing to young women living on the streets. In 1883, he opened "The Florence Night Mission," a place of respite for young unwed mothers (Florence Crittenton Agency). Crittenton quickly became an advocate for women in crisis, opening forty-six Florence Crittenton homes by 1897. His vision of a nationwide chain of rescue homes became known as the National Florence Crittenton Mission. He is also credited as the chief financial supporter for many of the homes
